This boy is in class with my daughter, and i felt very alarmed when i saw the photo that he posted on snap chat. Cynthia thomas was especially worried about the threat which was deemed unfounded following the high School Shooting in parkland florida that left 17 dead. It was posted in early january and that has many wondering why official doctors not speak up sooner. I would just like to know the truth about when they first saw that photo. Was it really only what happened after in florida or had they known about it . We determined early on there was no actual threat. There was no intent to carry out a threat. Reporter berks county da tried to calm any fears while saying the online post was a lesson for parents. This was not a threat. It was an inappropriate use of social media. It was an inappropriate post. Reporter investigators say the selfie incident never rose to the level where criminal charges would be considered but it still hits close to home for laurie who has one child at mifflin an daughter ironically graduated from the Parkland Florida School where the massacre took place. I met my daughter at the school and, um, saw the 17 memorials, um, 15 crosses and two stars and it was one of the most emotional days of my life.

Its almost as if it were a dream lucy because you walk outside and its like a slap in the its so cold. Wind chills to talk about as well. Little bit foggy on the parkway and cold temperatures with northeasterly wind. Look at this. Pottstown only 36. 39 in philadelphia. 41 in wilmington and falling fast. Now overnight, were talking about 35 in pottstown. 26 in the poconos. 34 in allentown and 39 degrees in dover. Ultimate doppler few showers to our south with a front and this is the next batch of rain moving in tomorrow. So we are going to be seeing more wet weather colder temperatures and it look like well be in a wet rut take look when that moves out and when the sun will shine again around here. Ill see in you few minutes with the seven day. Sounds good. Thank you kathy. Something is definitely not right here. Police say that guy right there pulled over a driver then patted down the women inside the car. The problem hes not a cop. Police say he pretended to be an off duty officer and the details about what else he did get rea really sketchy. Chris oconnell is live in warminster. Scary stuff, chris. Reporter sure is, lucy. Imagine if you will being stopped by a police officer, pulled over, frisked, your car being searched, then imagine finding out that officer really isnt an officer after all. Police in warminster say 26yearold eric miller of bensalem was posing as an off Duty Police Officer assigned as a u. S. Marshall but his story was a hoax. Its scary. I mean, its upsetting. Horrible. It makes you not trust the real police. Reporter two women tell me miller started stalking them with binoculars at a hatboro 7eleven store and followed them to this parking lot in warminster. They say miller stopped the women and accused of them of having an expired inspection sticker and drug use. The women were detained for more than two Hours Wednesday night. Police say miller driving this black honda without a badge or uniform blocked the victims car from leaving the parking lot. Emptied their purses on to the grass and according to the arrest report, frisked one of them and grabbing her buttocks. Im terrified. I mean, that could have been me. Im in the exact same spot. That could have been me. Its pretty disgusting i think. I would have probably called the police myself. Reporter what makes this story even more bizarre is police say when the victim started asking questions, like for an identification or a bad badge, miller went into this five below store and actually picked up the phone to call for police backup. The real police. It didnt take long for millers story to unravel. A quick call to Bensalem Police revealed miller was lying. Hes now charged with impersonating a public servant, kidnapping, robbery, stalking, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment. And police now wonder if anyone else may have been a victim of miller in the past. If thats the case, they want to you call Warminster Police right now. Miller is being held at the bucks county prison on 400,000 bail. Luce gee. All right. Thank you very much, chris. Montgomery County School district is banning flash drives and the reason is that district Officials Say they look too much like a popular vaping device. Lets get more from our Shawnette Wilson live in upper dublin. Shawnette. Reporter lucy, the Upper Dublin School superintendent said this has been an issue in general among parents. Ecigarettes and vaping. She says this ban is an effort to educate the community and protect her students. I think the district trying to do something thats right for the kids. Reporter Michelle Otoole supports the upper dublin School District recent ban on flash drives in all of its schools. She has two children that attend the high school. Kids are aware of. Kids know about it. Probably deep into middle school. Reporter shes talking about a vaping device called jewel thats popular among teens and resembles a flash drive. In some cases students were plugging the jewel vaping device into their computers to charge it. The School Superintendent Debra Wheeler said in a statement we became aware that some upper dublin using when using chrome books to charge juul devices in school because the nature avenue chrome book removes the need for external data storage devices. The size, the conceal ability of it. You know, being able to trick the teachers that they have a flash drive right in front of them meanwhile its their vape. Reporter we talk to steve summits who owns the shop make it vip per in he doesnt sell the product but thats in high in demand. I get phone calls all the time and it seems like all of the phone calls are from teenagers. Reporter summits says juul is so popular he doesnt think the district banning flash drives is the solution. Theyre still going to be going to school with their vapes in their pocket. Chuck says what the district is doing is a good thing to get a handle on vaping and drugs. But he doesnt think vaping is the bigger problem. I think thats much smaller issue than the vaping cigarettes themselves. I think you probably find two or three of these flash drives in the school and 100 vaping cigarettes. Reporter superintendent wheeler also says that only one student has been caught charging a juul device since this ban took effect she says the student has a special need to use a flash drive they can just ask the teacher for per mig. Lucy. There you go. All right, thank you shawnette. Targeting a church. Money meant for those in need now gone and it happened twice in Delaware County just last night. It turned into a movement that helped our birds within the super bowl but now another team is actually trying to steal our mojo. The yankees like the claymont, delaware, man operating a front end loader somehow drove off the peer. He never made it back out of that water. Skyfox over the Cargo Company ocean port llc on the 6200 block of philadelphia pike. Just before 10 00 this morning that employee drove that loader off the peer and into the water. Investigator dos not know why right now. By the time rescuers got to him, he had died. In Delaware County, a heartless thief has targeting churches and so far hes hit two. That person left behind a fair amount of damage from what happened overnight. And you can bet police are after the person. Our bruce gordon joins us live from upper darby. Bruce. Reporter lucy, father sean oneal was hearing confessions here at Saint Lawrence Catholic Church tonight. Somewhere a thief or thieves might want to be thinking about their own si sins. After breaking into, ransacking and burglarizin burglarizing thd school here. Well let Upper Darby Police superintendent Mike Chitwood explains exactly what happened. They broke into the poor boxes and the church candles and stole the change that was in there undetermined amount. So we have no idea how much they got and then in the school they had ransacked most of the school and want one of the teachers had a small plastic container containing some change they took that. Were trying to get some video right now. We dont have any video at Saint Lawrence church the alarm and the video was not working. We believe at this point in time very preliminarily probably could be a drug addict trying to get money to get high. Reporter Saint Lawrence wasnt the only upper darby church targeted by burglars wednesday night. The nearby Calvary Presbyterian Church was broken into as well some damage but nothing of value stolen. Chitwood still shaking his head over the Saint Lawrence job. I guess when you look at some scum bag breaking into a poor bock i mean its about as low as you can go. Reporter chitwood has as you might imagine put all of the churches in this area on notice. He wants them to be extra vigilant for any kind of suspicious behavior. He also wants them to make real sure that their camera and alarm systems in are good working order without Surveillance Video this case is going to be awfully tough to crack. Lucy. Hopefully the video shows up. Thank you much, bruce. This right here set the tone for the eagles super bowl season lane johnson, chris long flaunting their underdog masks after their play off win against the atlanta falcons. Fans embraced this and the masks sold out almost immediately on amazon, but now Kristen Rodgers unbelievable. Someone else is trying to steal the thunder of lane johnson i guess putting them in the doghouse. You could say that, lucy. Everyone in the sports world knows about the eagles and their underdog mentality you saw the masks there. They had tshirts, sign, you name it. But then this came out today. Check out the back cover the New York Daily News. A shot of the yankees with a caption, underdogs in the infamous shepherd shepherd mas masks.

They sped away to escape on to broad street. And dropped off one of the women. When they returned minutes later to pick her up, witnesses say they heard the deadly gunfire. We believe the van was struck up to five times. The victims appear to be innocent parties to the shooting. Reporter after tyesha was shot the family van veered out of control, crossed a median and crashed. Police arrived within seconds as family members fled the van and the gunman escape. We dont believe they were target. We dont believe it was road rage. We dont people the occupants had anything to do with anything. I just wish i hope they fine the person and, um, put the guns down.

At police headquarters, Dave Schratwieser, fox 29 news. Its hank. Im in center city picking up garbage because im sick of looking at it. Fort worth is paying homeless folks ten bucks an hour to do just this. Can can we solve two problems with one program here in filly . Hangs take coming up. Remember this . Oh, yes. So do we. Its a about to happen again. Jason kelce marching in a mummers suit but this time hell be playing a sacks. Really. This is so exciting, dave hey gus, meet tucker. Awwww. Whoaaaa . And axle, angie, frank, charlie, millie, ralph, henry, audrey and duke. Yep. Ten times the fun. Sorta like this. Ahhh, ten times the bucks. Its one of the new times the bucks games from the pennsylvania lottery. With millions in prizes hot diggity dog keep on scratchin its constant battle to keep our city clean. Its also heart wrenching to see how many people are homeless two very different things. Right . Now one solution could help both problems. Our hank flynn now with something another city already embraced picking up a little trash to get some cash. Reporter you take that kind of gig or not. Definitely take it. Reporter if somebody hired you and gets you ten dollars an hour to pick up trash i would take it. Reporter its hank. Im in al al in chinatown. Fort worth, tech text, is paying homeless folks ten bucks an hour to clean up city garbage. I know fort worth is not philadelphia. But could it work here . My take is, maybe its worth a try. Philly has got about 5700 Homeless People according to the last Homeless Services pitt count. We also have a massif trash problem. I was picking it up today. Its all over everywhere. Independence mall, race street, vine street expressway what if you combined the two and pay Homeless People ten dollars an hour to pick up trash . Would they do it . Kenneth krav ton said why not. It would be a start for me to do Something Better for myself. Nothing leads to nothing. Report roar Charles Jones said hed be more than happy to make some money. It would be you helping you out, wouldnt it. Yes, it would. I would take it. It would help me out. Reporter the idea isnt mine but it might be a good one for our city. Fort worth started it a year and a half ago with a program called clean slate by which Homeless People collected nearly 4,000 tons of trash all of it on the clock. When you work, you begin to have a little more selfdignity and little more, um, selfworth and look at yourself a little better, and thats whats happened with this for our homeless guests. They begin to view themselves as someone thats worth more than what they think theyre worth and it then helps them to have more selfconfidence to reenter main stream society. Reporter owen adds albuquerque, new york and chicago have gun versions of that same program. I thought about it as i shuffled around picking up garbage. City hall often says theres no money. What if theres value what if the cost is justified by clean streets and fewer people sleeping under the Convention Center . City Homeless Services boss liz hirsh apparently feels the same way. She sent me a Statement Today saying her office is actively pursuing a model like this for philadelphia that they hope to introduce in the near future. Cool. I hope it works. Im hank and thats my take. Turning a big metal box into a home. Its happening right here and business is booming. What can we do . How do we stop these shootings . One idea floating around again is Arming Teachers in class. So we talked with some local teachers to get their take. How do we stop this . Our nations children targets of violence at a place where they should feel safe. The debate is on and one solution, President Trump said yesterday and again today arming our teachers is a possibility. How does that idea sit with our local teachers . We sent out jeff cole to find out. Reporter in south jerseys collingswood high, two unarmed guards prowl the corridors and outsiders are buzzed in. Teachers should be rooting for students not shooting for students. Reporter its a safe place believes teacher kwame ivory who today asked his students if he should carry a gun. Good i want you all to raise your happened you would be comfortable if you knew i was strapped. Raise your hands if youd be comfortable if you knew i was strapped right now. And only one student raised their hand. Reporter fellow physics instructor karl chuck carnes says gun on his hip is a recipe for chaos. I just dont think in our profession that the training could ever be there. I think if i was to trust somebody to have a gun in the school it would be like a cop or former cop. Reporter Arming Teachers is now part of the Heated National Debate on School Security after the parkland, florida, attack. The president backs the idea. So does Mike Chitwood. Hes the high profile top cop in upper darby, pa who says teachers would be volunteer. Go through a psychological evaluation, training when to use it and the weapons are concealed, you know, kind of like the us marshals. Reporter philadelphias key Teachers Union is strongly opposed. So is high School Instructor Steven Fleming on leave earning his ph. D. Anything could go wrong. Gun could get lost, stolen, accidents happen. Um, just the burden of having and knowing that theres a weapon in the classroom. Reporter back at collingswood high, elizabeth, will have her kids read about the Columbine School killings turning tragedy into learning. I dont think that adding guns to an educational environment is going to decrease the amount of violence. I think that would only increase especially the potential for accidents. Reporter some teachers do support it. One teacher telling me today he doesnt want the wild west, just the ability to defend his students and get them home for dinner. In collingswood, new jersey, im jeff cole, fox 29 news. In Chester County a father faces charges in the deaths of his baby girl. Authorities say the five month old was with her father zion shockly at his home in coatesville when she went into cardiac arrest and february 10th. Paramedics rush the baby to the hospital.

Ahmad khan rahami set off Pressure Cooker bomb near the start of a marine corps charity run in seaside park when the troopers got to the scene they had to put on their protective gear then set up their equipment including robots to deactivate those devices. It was like second nature. We just jumped right in. We knew what we had to do. How we were going to go about it, and completed the task. It is an honor. Im humbled by the award. But again i do accept it on behalf of everybody that was there and of course the entire state police. A judge sentenced Ahmad Khan Rahami to multiple life terms last week. A new community of home Social Security booming and were not talking about your average, you know, red brick houses. This is made from shipping containers. Our bill rohrer is in Chester County with the Building Blocks of the future. Reporter william and carlos are in the business of building houses. But not in the way you may be used to. This is the main living area the. Reporter on the inside this house looks like any normal house but the outside it looks completely different. You see, this house is made out of a recycle shipping container for the last four months standard 20foot container has been parked at the Great Valley Shopping Center in malvern. Carlos an architect presented the container home idea to william a few years ago. Just retired. I was though hit potential. The concept of tiny houses was coming up and was becoming a trend so we said i think its probably the right time to do it. Reporter this home is about 160 square feet. But if thats too small these containers can be placed side by side or stacked up to as high as nine. These steal structures make it possible. You can use it as backyard retreat, i mean guest house, if your kid is coming back to college and you want to give him some independence. Theyre assembled inside a factory moved and set up anywhere you can imagine. Plans on the companys website show these containers could be used as shelters in emergency areas. We are exploring the possibility of having a combination of solar panel and water Collection System on the roof and we would like to have something that is completely off the great. This model starts at 36,000 for less than a luxury car this could be yours. Compare prices maybe were on the same level as mobile home but i mean comparing apples and oranges. Difference is living in steal container is new idea. People are slow to adopt th them. I mean, its not that common. And people are not used to them and i think that has to grow on people. Reporter in malvern, bill rohrer fox 29 news. Fantastic. Got to love the tiny homes. Does everyone around you seem like theyre sick kind of like ive been . Everything is going around.

Reporter there were people in and out throughout the morning and spending time with them is what convinced me of just how impactful this idea could really be. Im trying to get a job so i can reintegrate back into normal society. Reporter matt was one of the people there with a Community Activist james who helps people over come various challenges. He didnt want to discuss his specific issue. But was clear that not being able to afford the clothes he needs is a major obstacle. Not having the clothes its been hard because you can go to the interviews. Then they wont higher you. So its been hard for me. Reporter something that james sees often but unless youve experienced it, you may not understand the challenge getting back on your feet even when you desperately want to. Youre allowed one suitcase and thats everything you own. Its kind of hard to get back into main stream if you dont have clothing. Basic clothing.

Going to be a soggy stretch. Kathy orr has your forecast in 15 seconds. Its cool, its dreary and damp on the parkway and pretty much everywhere across the delaware valley. Temperatures are cold out there. Last night at this time we were in the 60s. Right now 39 in philadelphia with a wind chill of 31. Northeast winds 13 miles an hour and that will make for chilly start to the day tomorrow. Temperatures still in the 30s and some 40s to the south and east but that persistent on shore flow is going to keep it really chilly overnight. When you look at those wind chills it feels like 22 in the poconos. 31 in wilmington. 34 in millville and only 31 degrees in wrightstown and in philadelphia.

So its more like friday morning and then saturday afternoon into saturday night. As we look ahead we have a series of low pressure systems riding along that stalled front so additional rain tomorrow, about couple tenths of an inch or so in the morning and most locations then by saturday, were talking about an additional half inch and then perhaps another inch by sunday. And then cold front finally kicks all out of here. Overnight 26 in the poconos. 35 in pottstown. 38 in wilmington and 37 in philadelphia. Chilly start to the day tomorrow with that rain as well a cold rain with temperatures only in the 30s. By the afternoon we make it to 44 which is well below average for this time of year. With occasional showers in the afternoon and evening. On your seven day forecast from the weather authority, few showers saturday, more likely late in the day and evening. The rain but it will be a wet day. Monday, tuesday, and wednesday looking good with sun, highs in the upper 50s which is above average thursday a chance of a shower. The high 54 degrees.
